Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
I just looked at B&N's facebook page and found these two links:
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/email/...COUPON-_-counm
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/email/...COUPON-_-counm
Both worked fine for me online just now. I would be really surprised if no one else had tried to use them since they were posted publicly for many hours. Anyone want to try them out and see if they still work?

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Just a heads up, I thought I missed out on the 25% off coupon but then I checked my spam folder in gmail and there was the e-mail. Usually B&N e-mails make it into my inbox. I don't know why this one didn't. So check your spam folders.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
I've been looking at the smart coupons, and find I can generate any smart code I want by merely copying the URL that was generated when I clicked on the link in my email, changing the email address to any random one, and then changing several of the letters/numbers in the smart code which shows up in the URL after the "bc=" to any random value. When I do this, I can go to the newly minted URL and it displays the coupon with the smart code I invented. My question is: would the B&N computer allow such a generated discount coupon at the register or would it be considered invalid because that email address is not in their database of emailed coupons?
I have no need to test this out myself since I already have emails with valid smart codes sent to three different email addresses. If someone who can't seem to get B&N to send them coupons wants to try it at a store, please do. Because I'm new, it won't let me post the entire URL as a template. So if someone else can post a sample URL, you just need to change this part:
bc=(any variation of C5PUM42S5J4C7)&cm_em=(your email address>)
Let me know the result!
By the way, I'm new to this forum so excuse me if this topic has been discussed before...

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
No, the online coupons don't check the email address. Anyway, you can always use a dummy gmail account and make a BN account using that address and use that for your coupon too.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
I agree with the above, it's not a good idea to try fake codes. It's embarrassing at the least, and possibly detrimental to BN using codes at all.
@ Marvin, @ Dining Dead: I handed 2 of them out on the Criterion page, used 7 myself. There's not a huge supply of them out there, but I'll see if I can't scrounge some up. What I need is a way to search for a 13 character, alphanumeric string. I don't know how to do this through Google, I've already looked for instructions and found nada

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Yes I've known you can do this for quite some time but the codes are not valid or will scan at a store unless you happen to guess a code that was sent to someone else that is valid. Sure maybe you could get a store to possibly override it and make it go through, but in reality it is a fake coupon. If B&N catches on people are trying to pass off phony coupons the end result most likely will be they will stop issuing them in the future. Also I believe it is a violation of forum rules to discuss or promote trying to pull a scam on a store. Sorry but I don't promote or endorse anyone doing this since it is potentially fraud.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Sorry, Laser. You've been such a great source of information about coupon use, and I respect your opinion. I was suggesting this to those who have an email address registered with B&N but who have not gotten the coupon in an email as they should have. To me, that's not fraud. At any rate, the question is whether someone who has registered a VALID email address with B&N but has not received the coupon could use such a method to generate one. And yes, B&N might catch on to these things sooner or later. Look at all those who used the 50% off mystery coupon code without ever having been emailed one, for example. No wonder they only use smart codes for those now! )

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Still if you are generating a code it most likely is not going to be valid. Trying to pass it off as a legitimate coupon and getting a store to accept it in my opinion is fraud. The end result is going to be fewer coupons or more restrictions. Look what has already happened with the mystery coupons and the $5/$20 DVD coupons. I figure the $8/$40 blu-ray/DVD coupon is next on the list for extinction or major revision. However those were real and legitimate coupons to begin with. If anyone is not receiving B&N emails they should continue to call and complain to customer service or management.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
So ... other than Criterions, what have people been buying? I'm looking for ideas ... I usually gravitate towards TV season sets (EDIT: on BD), but I haven't seen any cheap enough before discount to jump on yet.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
I got a 25% coupon in my email. I used it to buy Cronos on blu-ray. It's really the only Criterion I was looking to pick up during the sale.
